For the longest time, I have been against hanging personal photos in our home. I have no idea why, I just have never been the type of person to have family photos displayed. ...but no more. I want to create a family wall!

Walls like these have me wanting one of our own for our special memories:

I saw this in my September issue of Real Simple, but snagged the image here.

I think I would also love to have a print of our current home (our first home) made from Modern Bird Studios to go on this wall. Similar to this one:

Perhaps something from our wedding too? I definitely want a mix of things and I want them to all mean something to us. This is all just in my head right now and I have no clue when it will get done, how it will be arranged, the sizes, etc... but it is the next project on my list. The most important thing in my life is my family and I can't wait to have a wall dedicated to the ones I love!

Ooh I love your ideas! I am kind of the same as you and have no family photos displayed. I love your idea, though, of mixing photos with other items/prints. Great finds! I cannot wait to see it when it is done! S

You've given me lots of great ideas here! I don't have an issue with actually hanging pictures on the walls, but I do have an issue with actually getting it done. If you walk in my hallway, for example, you'd think we only have one son (a little-not-12-year-old one at that).

This is a HUGE to-do on my list, but to give myself credit, I have been stocking up on frames that I see at a great (sale) price, and storing them in our garage- so that when the time comes, I won't have to go out at once and buy a billion frames.

I am bookmarking this post, because you've given a couple of great links and ideas... THANKS!! - and I can't wait to see yours when done:).

Oh my goodness, your son is adorable! I love what you want to do with your wall. I love family photos, but I especially love how you want to mix other things in. That map is too cool. I really love that you want to do something with your first house!!...wish I had thought to do that with our first home!xoxo, Samantha
